I still cannot reproduce this, my commit is

5a8f775d79f4089d03968dd16ba7d073b7c9f142

and your file exports just fine.

Note that "trans" is not a well-defined version.

Just to add one additional (quite useless data point).. I tried the
example file and it did seem to hang with Emacs consuming lots of CPU.
Although export to HTML worked for the file.  Not just the example
file.. my other files also got stuck at PDF export.  Then I rebooted
Emacs and tried PDF export first thing (i.e. w/o exporting to HTML
first) and it myteriously worked for all files.

Sorry I do not have more useful information, I did try debug-on-error
but it did not produce anything.. I had to cancel after waiting for
export to finish.

This was on Org (commit: 5a8f775), WinXP SP2, Emacs 22.3.

If you can make it hang, try setting debug-on-quit, get it to hang,  
and press C-g.

okay, i knew i was going to miss something...

html export works just fine..

but i never do get a fail.. the processor usage shoots to 100%.. and
hangs there... i let it go for a few hours.. then quit it.

the error message i sent was from after cancelling in the middle of the
export..

Here's a trick that works on my office machine (Windows XP, Emacs 22.3.1):  
Before exporting to LaTeX I export to html. That done an export to LaTeX  
works fine (all four commands). I have no clue why this is necessary on my  
WinXP machine. At home, on my Linux machine, a prior export to html is  
uneccessary before exporting to LaTeX.

Uwe

generating tasks in tex..

Hi Sergio,
don't worry we will sort this out.  What I need
is a case where I can reproduce things.  Maybe we
have some different setup, so you could help my making
a case that works with

   emacs -q -l .emacs.minimal

where you put a minimal setup into .emacs.

And then a step by step guide on how you get tings to hang.

okay, i did this..

well.. i backed up my .emacs file, and started with an new .emacs file
that ONLY has orgmode in it..

and everything seems to have loaded up just fine..

so this tells me that it's somewhere else..

i am going to start adding pieces back in little by little and see if it
works..

thanks!

export to latex..

[sergio_101]

i have been running orgmode for awhile now, and using it to export my
files to latex for printing..

for some reason, today, it stopped working..

when i do a C-c C-e and select 'l' to export to latex, i get the following:


Sorting environment...
Removing duplicates... done
Applying style hooks... done

and then it just hangs..

i have tried checking *messages* for some clues, but that is all it says..

anyone have any ideas where i might look to fix this?

thanks!

Hi Sergio,

are you explicitly trying to hide information?

For example:  did you upgrade today?
What is your current version?
Do you have a small example file which does already reproduce the  
problem?

You really don't give me anything to work on....
